Combermere are through to the final of the Barbados Cricket Association’s Under-15 cricket competition after their game against The Alleyne School on the second and final day at the Pine Basin, St. Michael ended in a draw. They will play Queen’s College who defeated The Lodge School by six-wickets in the other semi-final today.
The Waterford boys started their second innings around noon today with a 69- run lead after scoring 106 all out in 34.3 overs on the first day of play yesterday and dismissing Alleyne for 37 in 30 overs. Combermere batted all day to pile on 226 for six until play was called off around 4:30 p.m. by the umpires.
Shian Brathwaite opened the batting and top-scored for Combermere with a well crafted 106 not out which included nine fours and three sixes before retiring hurt. Opener David Scott at the other end was the first to go, trapped LBW to off-break bowler Kerry Justin for 16 with the score on 60 for one in 21 overs.Offbreak bowler Kerry Justin sending down another delivery during his five-wicket haul.
